09/15/2026: OSBC (4-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 215 days. Simulated Profits (40.20%). Updated daily EoD!

Old Second Bancorp is a stable regional bank headquartered in Illinois, focusing on serving commercial and retail customers in the Chicago metropolitan area. Its main strength lies in deep local relationships and the successful integration of significant acquisitions, which have solidified its market presence. The company's primary growth opportunity involves expanding its fee-based wealth management services to diversify revenue. However, risks include geographic concentration, interest rate sensitivity, and competition from national incumbents. The stock is a suitable consideration for value or dividend-focused investors seeking exposure to regional banking, provided they monitor the company's credit quality and interest rate management closely.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

OSBC receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

OSBC has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 29.7%) and solid revenue growth (+18.1%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-5.8%), modest insider ownership of 4.33%.

Financial Health Rating

OSBC's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (29.7% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is OSBC's strongest growth driver at +18.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-5.8%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-2.5%, slightly negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 78.8% and approximately 96.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.33% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.11%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 4.91%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.43%
Davis Asset Management, L.P. 3.54%
American Century Companies Inc 3.51%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

OSBC generates approximately $781 of gross profit, $279 of operating income, and $297 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 25.47%

Quantitative Style Profile

OSBC has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
